Nice pictures, Peter.

I will have to dig up my pictures of my fruitcake making last
year...but I think they are on my laptop.

How long did it take to bake that big cake? Mine take several
hours....

Still going. It's 5 hours at 120C (250F) and then 2 hours at 100C
(200F). It's just coming up to 1800hrs here, so there's just over 1/2
hour and then I switch it down to 100C.

So it'll be finished at 2030hrs (8.30pm)

Good thing I put a couple of bottles of bubbly in the fridge earlier :-)

nothing can guarantee our living one more day.

It turned out a bit darker than last years....... maybe it was the pan.
I'll go back to using two pans next year.

I was having dinner with my boss and his wife and she said to me, "How

many potatoes would you like Peter?". I said "Ooh, I'll just have one

please". She said "It's OK, you don't have to be polite" "Alright" I

said "I'll just have one then, you stupid cow".
